In Albright hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) subcutaneous ossifications are accompanied by hormone resistance and dysmorphic features. |
| Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva | |
|
In fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP) heterotopic bone formation is localized in tendons, ligaments, skeletal muscles and fascia. Before the appearance of bone like tissues tumor-like inflammation (“flare-ups”) is observed. |
